Cami did a great job and I followed her tutorial for the “knot” part of the headband. So go there for that. But instead of crocheting long strands, I used Tshirt Yarn.

If you’re wondering how to make t-shirt yarn, just cut strips from an old tshirt (mine were maybe 3/4 in wide) and then pull on them til they turn in on themselves. Sometimes the tshirts won’t roll in on themselves – I’ve had this happen a couple of times. It just depends on the type of knit fabric they’re made of – but most should roll in to form a “yarn”. I cut 4 strips and sewed them together so I had 2 extra long separate strips. That easy.

UPDATE: I finally got around to taking a semi-better picture. Let me tell you – headbands are really hard to take pictures of! Anyways, I love the idea of a headband topping of a messy bun – it makes it just right:

I think it turned out great and I enjoy the subtly of the gray. Since tshirt yarn is stretchy, I just sewed the ends together and covered them with a scrap, instead of the hot gluing to ribbon like the tutorial. Here’s the connecting part of mine:

Super quick and easy. And comfy to wear. You should try it!

Knit T Shirt Headbands are so great to make and wear – I’ve made a bunch of other different styles, so head to that post if you’re interested in other options:

All of these headband tutorials lately make me really wish that I looked good in headbands! And this one is certainly a favorite. I love the recycled element of this project, and the knot truly is great!

How cute is this!? I love it! I have saved two big bags of giveaway clothes that could be upcycled into something new and fabulous…I think I need to pull a t-shirt outta there for one of these headbands : )Jaimee @ craft-interrupted.blogspot.com

Love it! Better than the crocheted one for sure! I want to make one, but have no idea how long to make the t-shirt yarn pieces. How long did you make yours? And which direction do you cut the shirt?…top to bottom?…or across?…does it matter?Thanks! Can’t wait to try it!

great question Erica – you can google “how to make tshirt yarn” and get tons of tutorials, but bastically you cut strips across the shirt bottom in about 1 inch widths. Then you stretch/pull on that strip and it will curl in on itself and look more “yarnish” than “fabric-ish”. Good luck!

[…] cute No Sew Braided Headband that will match perfectly! Getting this idea originally came from Sugar Bee Crafts if you want to check it out! I just used an actual t-shirt and glued it together rather than […]
